  • Atlanta Has Seen a Rapid Increase in Population Over the Course of Only a Few Years, and the City’S Newfound Popularity Comes As No Surprise
    Atlanta has seen a rapid increase in population over the course of only a few years, and the city’s newfound popularity comes as no surprise. Currently, there are 5.7 million people in the metro Atlanta area with numbers projected to continue to rise. Atlanta boasts a prosperous job market, a diverse community, a lively weekend scene, gourmet food options and a landscape that combines busy metropolitan vibes with the calming green spaces of the countryside. Whether you’re strolling through Atlanta’s beautiful Botanical Gardens or biking along the Atlanta Beltline, you will never run out of things to do. People from around the country – and world – are discovering the appeal of Atlanta, and it has quickly become a well-respected center of commerce and creativity. To illustrate Atlanta’s wide range of communities, we interviewed Kabbage employees so they can share what it’s like to live in each of their unique neighborhoods. The Westside, known amongst the Atlanta community as a trendy and fun area, is quickly growing in popularity. The area stretches from the west end of Georgia Tech to southwest Buckhead. Recently, this area has undergone renovation with new apartment and condo buildings sprouting up. Jeff, one of Kabbage’s Recruiters, is a Westside resident who described the Westside as a place that has quickly transformed from an industrial area into an eclectic and diverse place that presents a fun mix of neighborhoods, commercial and retail. The area is varied in many realms; it attracts both college students and families, you can choose to eat fast food or indulge in fine dining, and, if you are in the mood to spend some money, you can visit local shops, or alternatively do some chain retail shopping.

The report reviews the IZ program from January 26, 2018 through December 31, 2020. SUMMARY Inclusionary zoning (IZ) and the IZ program in Atlanta have several goals, including increasing the number of affordable housing units in the city and providing low- and moderate-income residents access to low-poverty neighborhoods near employment centers and public and private amenities. In examining the City’s progress towards these goals, we found: • Since implementation of a mandatory Inclusionary Zoning program in the BeltLine and Westside Atlanta neighborhoods in January 2018, there are 362 new affordable housing units in some stage of development. • Most affordable units are designated for households with incomes at 70-80% of area median income (AMI) while the rest are designated at or below 60% of AMI. • There was an increase in multifamily building project permits issued citywide and inside the IZ area from 2015–2020, indicating that the IZ program was not related to a reduction in new multifamily INCLUSIONARY ZONING WITH developments. Additionally, there is not evidence that developers are A SKYLINE VIEW IN BANKHEAD building townhomes instead of multifamily developments to avoid IZ PHOTO CREDIT: CITY OF REFUGE program requirements.
